PIMS Network Wide Colloquium

PIMS 2025-2026 Network Wide Colloquium begins on Thursday September 25th with our first speaker, Fields Medalist Curtis McMullen. Four other speakers will round out this high profile network wide event.

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award helps provides funding for researchers attending a BIRS 5-day (or longer) program to maximize the impact of their travel by visiting a PIMS site for collaboration.

PIMS Network Wide Courses

The PIMS Network Wide Courses programs helps share graduate level courses throughout the PIMS network. Registration for winter courses is now open. Application deadlines vary but begin in November.

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

Roughly speaking, outbreaks of respiratory infections, such as measles, CoViD-19, and influenza, are shaped by two main factors: (1) the patterns and nature of contacts between individual hosts, and (2) the distribution of immunity locally and...

John Pardon has recently proved the Gromov-Witten Donaldson-Thomas correspondence using a new homology/cohomology machinery for 1-cycles in 3-folds. We study a much simplified version, namely for 0-cycles (points) in curves. In this case the theory...
